ACTS 101 (2.0) was so good. TK gave us 3 major C’s on how to practice ACTing like Christ.
THE WHY
• Why do we do all the things required of us as Christians?
Ephesians 4:13 ERV
- To become the perfect man that Christ is.
• The nature of man is not the same as the nature of Christ.
How to put these things in practice:
1. Community: Gal. 6:1 NLT
2. Consecration: 1 Peter 2: 9. Declutter the unnecessary
3. Conviction: 2 Timothy 3: 16. Get your own revelation word.
Then TJ finished off the service with these amazing points.
Philippians 2: 5-8
• Our thoughts are pointers to who we are.
John 14: 6
• Jesus was the standard in every way.
•Jesus wasn't religious, he lived a practical life.
• Everything he did was necessary for the will of God. This is because He knew the will of the Father, everything He did was fueled by that knowledge.
• Matthew 4: 4 Jesus knew the necessity of the Word (which is the source and sustainer of Life).
• Every act that doesn't aid the will of God for your life, don't be a cast in it.
"Don't be a ‘cast’ in any ‘act’ that has nothing to do with the will of God"
• The kingdom of God has the capacity to sustain its citizens.
CR dropped some blazing points
1. We have the license to improve on ourselves and be excellent.
2. The goal of every form of improvement is progressive excellence.
3. Christ is the goal and yardstick of all improvements; Improve yourself for the plans God has for you.
4. Self-improvement is progressive; seek to do something at every point of your life.
5. Self-improvement releases a better version of you that the world will enjoy.
6. Don't get stuck in what lies behind (the past); forge ahead; there is more. Prepare yourself now for the next level.
7. Change doesn't just happen by mistake; it's an intentional effort.
